Any other options in that price range with those features I should be looking at? I currently have an older imbel springfield loaded, how do these compare to that in quality? |

Quoted:
What makes the mc better than the s&w? Is the MC just a loaded with a rail or is it better made? Absolutely nothing, the S&W E Series 1911 TA is a fine pistol and runs as smooth as silk, with a lifetime free service policy behind it. You can't go wrong with either. You should look into some of the 1911 offerings by SIG as well.

| I have both 3 Springfield's and 1 Smith and would buy all again. The Smith has checkered front strap and came with night sighs and a better finish/dehorned. Would be an easy choice for me Smith, plus the Smith trigger will be better out of the box, they have a way of fitting them that is better if I remember reading right. |

| E-series. I've owned both, the 1911 TA I had was a better built gun than the TRPs and operator I have owned. Dollar to features the 1911 TA it is an outstanding pistol. Front strap checkering, flat topped and serrated slide top and rear. Those additions alone would cost several hundred from the SA custom shop. The Springfield's are great guns, but everything beyond the basic loaded is overpriced these days IMHO. Either gun will likely be very reliable with good mags and ammo. |
